Fun Facts

My new series–starting May 21 with the prequel e-novella One True Love–is set in the fictional town of Cupid, Texas. “Cupid” is actually based on the combination of the two Trans-Pecos villages of Alpine and Marfa, although both real towns appear in the books as well. Marfa is a fascinating place and I’ve been enchanted with it for years. Apparently Sixty Minutes agrees with me. To get you in the mood for your visit to the Trans-Pecos, here’s the clip about Marfa.

February News

The audio books of the Jubilee, Texas series are now up on Audible. I met the narrator, CJ Critt, at a conference several years ago and we discussed working together on a project, but you know how it sometimes takes years for things to come to fruition. I’m very happy to say the wait was worth it. CJ was a dream to work with and I learned so much about how audio books were made.
